An Historical Relation Of The Island Ceylon In The East Indies

PART III
169/205

Spoken of the People of Cande Uda, where there are such eminent Persons of the Hondrew rank; and because of the Civility, Understanding, and Gravity of the poorest Men among them.
No body can reproach the King and the Beggar.

Because the former is above the slander of the People, and nothing can be said bad enough of the latter: Like Noia and Polonga.

Denoting Irreconcileable Enemies.

The story of which two Serpents hath been related before.
He that hath Money to give to his Judge, needs not fear, be his Cause right or wrong.

Because of the corruption of the great Men, and their greediness of Bribes.
If our Gerehah, fortune be bad, what can God do against it?
Reckoning that none of their Gods have Power to reverse the fate of an ill Planet.
The Ague is nothing, but the Head-ach is all.
